Meet Valentina
Valentina, the heart and visionary behind our studio, began her Vaganova ballet journey in Ukraine, training at the prestigious Kharkov Ballet School and later graduating from the Kiev Academy of Ballet. She performed professionally with the Kharkov Ballet Theatre in renowned productions such as Sleeping Beauty, La Sylphide, Don Quixote, and The Nutcracker.
After moving to the United States in 1994, Valentina brought her artistic excellence to various dance academies, eventually becoming a beloved mentor known affectionately as “Miss V.” Her dedication has led many of her students to prestigious programs and professional companies around the world.
With a Bachelor’s degree in Choreography and a Master’s in Engineering, Valentina is as accomplished in her academics as she is on stage. Her passion, discipline, and mentorship continue to inspire generations of dancers.
